Got hit by $48 CAD duties upon ordering a $230 Trident MK3 bracelet :( How do they even calculate it? Sounds like that may have shipped to you via DHL as they take an aggressive brokerage fee then charge you GST and PST on the amount of the bracelet to send to the CRA. Do bracelets incur any duty? ...

The Cartier is really quite fantastic. Every time I see it pop up somewhere online I'm drawn to it. Until today though, I've never noticed that it is also a sterile case. No Cartier logo anywhere on the front of the watch.

I think the Sandhurst is a definite winner. I'm not sure if one will make it into my hands, as at that price point (which is very good for a COSC watch), it is competing with more than a few other watches for my attention.

CW really needs to sort out these niggling little issues if they want to compete with the big boys. They have just launched a watch that costs more than a Speedmaster but still have website copy that would suggest they are selling $300 Chinese watches. Same can be said of the CS issues as of late. I...

I have a very hard time believing that CW would change the dial from a Gen 2 logo to a Gen 1 logo. There is almost zero chance that the OP received the same watch back that he sent in. Very unfortunate.

My mechanic tightens lug nuts by hand only, and my preferred tire shop uses that as a selling point. If you've been bitten once, you will go out of your way to find a shop that doesn't allow the use of air guns when fitting wheels. My experience wasn't in overtightening a lug nut (although that has ...

I have to agree with the choice of the Swatch. The quartz watch that saved the Swiss mechanical watch industry. My choice for icons are two watches that should be, but probably aren't on any lists, and could be called the great-grandfathers of the two watches posted by ddav.. Two non-Swiss quartz wa...

Overall I think this are a solid follow-up to the SKX. Hacking and handwinding movement is an improvement, although at this price Seiko needs to put a little bit of effort into regulating. The advertised spec for the 4R36 of +45 -35 is more than a little bit lazy. I'd also happily give up the exhibi...

but with 224hp combined, I imagine it's a decently spirited drive when you want it to be. This is the delusion with electric cars. Use the power for any length of time and the battery will give maybe 5% of the quoted range, not to mention probably overheating. I see Teslas on the autobahn once in a...

I have loved the two PHEV's i have owned. The Mitsubishi Outlander was a great family car but expensive for the level of build quality especially the paintwork. I currently have the Mini Countryman and it is brilliant, i have just done 5k miles and have an average of 110mpg. this morning i got 24 m...

I have 2 C6's and a Khaki FIeld as well as Field Chrono. I'm considering selling one of the C6's and the Field Chrono, but I never felt like unnecessary duplication having 2 of the same model in the collection. Each colorway or style is unique, even within the same model.

They both look great Alex, but the black bezel numbers make the blue the winner for me.

Great photo - can even see the etched omega emblem in the middle of the hesalite. Thanks. It was just a quick snap with my phone and the front page of the paper. I hadn't noticed the logo was visible until you pointed it out. Unfortunately you can also see the gunk between the lugs. Cell phone came...

The charging network is difficult. It was under pressure in the UK 4 years ago and somewhat unreliable and needs a major upgrade in all areas, problem is somebody needs to pay for the infrastructure, but when cars can be charged at home, and battery tech improves to the point that only long journey...

Delivered today, with the packing info, order info, order number, value etc. all showing to the public. Can't say I'm a fan of CW's approach to data protection. del.jpg Calm down dear. While this is unfortunate, It's hardly 'all showing to the public' as it's been delivered by courier. And I'm sure...
